Simon Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 From the top. The site. Splash pages are pointless and a waste of space. Unless you're are selling it as a prime advertising space, which would be even more pointless on a personal site of this size, then get rid of it. In general, the site design is actually pretty good, but a few things you need to look at. For starters, you're rollovers all start as if you was rolled over them all. It's not until you rollover them for the first time that they revert to their proper states on rollover. If that makes sense? Ok, i've just looked, and you've used javascript, and it's more then likely that. Good luck if you want to try and fix that The banner isn't to bad, although the whole photoshop-brush-spam thing is getting old, it kind of works for the site. However, the text in the banner is a bit un-readable with that font. The bit underneath "www.billocks.co.uk" in particular. Moving down, the text underneath the picture looks very, sort of, child-ish. I've put it down to it being centered. Unless it's a title, you should never center main body text. The font colour could of also been chosen better. With that background, the font doesn't become un-readable, but it becomes questionable. Finally, on the video page, it's not glaringly obvious which video is which, as you've sort of incorporated the links into a sentence. Try and make it obvious which video is new, how new, i.e, add a date and also add what song's where used. Saves a lot of questions later. Also, a quick tip. In your "body {}" CSS declaration, add "margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;" underneath the background color one. Stops you having that space at the bottom of your website between the picture and window pane. The Video. Personally, i actually thought this was pretty good. Some editing was sketchy, like the bit when you was doing the drop of that brick building, and the drop-gap from the container to the pellets. So not bad at all. Could of spent less time at that first bench though, any longer and i would of turned it off. Also, cut your hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Pearson Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Erm, just had a look at the D.O.B on your sig, did a little maths (its been a while...), and..... well..... you're 13.... Holy Shit you're good...... Downloaded both vids and I can safely say there was plenty of stuff I just couldn't have done being a good 5-6 years older (sidehops onto rails... )Site was good, if a little slow to load up. But its simple, easy to navigate and looks cool.Nice one. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
